1933 News coverage concerning Huthwaite

Indexed by dated weekly editions, an entire years coverage of archived Huthwaite news transcribed from The Nottinghamshire Free Press 1933 publications. Helping detail Huthwaite developments and past social life, with announcements of resident marriages and deaths informatively revealing named relations, which will hopefully assist readers through their own genealogy research.

Searching through Sutton Library archives for subjective headed columns may have missed a few items, and transcribing may edit out lengthier or less relevant matters. Nevertheless, all coverage given does contain full relevant details, retaining original older style punctuation and possible spelling variations.
